The last winner of the film and television world

Chapter 485 This is the first time I see a customer raising prices.

Besides, it's really embarrassing to knock on a boy's door in the middle of the night.

If the mosquito bites hadn't made her unbearable, Xu Hongdou wouldn't have come to ask for help.

"Anti-mosquito spray, please wait for me for a moment."

After saying that, Yao Bin went back to the room and gave it to Xu Hongdou. From the look on her face, he could tell that she was suffering from mosquitoes. He was not in the mood to laugh at her now.

"thanks, thanks."

"You're welcome."

When he saw Xu Hongdou with bumps all over his head the next day, Yao Bin really couldn't help but laugh. This was called not listening to the old man's words and you would suffer the consequences.

Xu Hongdou also said a little embarrassedly: "Haha, I didn't expect the mosquitoes yesterday were so powerful."

"This is the countryside, not as good as the city. Mosquitoes are normal."

Yao Bin pointed to the bag on her arm and said, "I need to apply some toilet water on it later."

"Uh-huh."

As soon as the two of them came down the stairs, they met a girl with long hair disheveled and squinted eyes who was in a daze. Needless to say, they knew who she was.

"Good morning, Damai." x2

Damai seemed to be slow to respond. After a few seconds, he rubbed his eyes and said, "Morning."

At this time Nana came out and said, "Damai stayed up late again last night?"

"Yeah, I have to go back and catch up on my sleep."

Only then did Xu Hongdou realize that Damai had stayed up late, and according to Nana, he often stayed up late.

In fact, staying up late like this is very bad for the body. Of course, if you go to bed on time during the day every day and have enough time, then there will naturally be no problem, but it will be very troublesome if you reverse it every day.

Nana looked at Yao Bin and asked, "Are you going out for breakfast?"

Yao Bin nodded and said, "Yes, do you have any good recommendations?"

"There is a rice noodle shop at the entrance of the village. I think it is very good. You can go and try it."

Anyway, rice noodles are mostly served here in Dali, but rice is rare, or not as common as in other places.

"Xu Hongdou, what do you think?"

"sure."

So Nana took the two of them to this rice noodle shop. On the way, Nana was helping to introduce the situation in the village to them. She had been here for a long time and was very familiar with the situation in the village.

Xu Hongdou asked curiously: "Nana, do you work here?"

Nana smiled: "Haha, it's not really a job. I'm working in Sister Xiaochun's restaurant. Yao Bin went there yesterday. It's a good place for leisure and relaxation. Xu Hongdou, you can go and sit there when you have time."

Nana's real name was Lin Na. To say that she worked as a volunteer in Yunmiao Village in Dali, it would be better to say that she came here to live in seclusion.

"I'll come over when I have time."

Xu Hongdou agreed readily. She came here to relax. After hearing what Nana said about the situation of the small restaurant, she also wanted to go and have a look when she had time.

When the three of them arrived at the rice noodle shop, they saw Xie Zhiyao already sitting there, and immediately greeted the three of them to sit down.

"You have come to the right place. The rice noodles here are really delicious. I like them too."

Yao Bin smiled and said: "Ayao, you drank so much last night, are you feeling better now?"

You must know that last night, Xie Zhiyao was brought to the room by his younger brother. Speaking of this, Xie Zhiyao felt a little embarrassed. He had to drag Yao Bin to drink, which was embarrassing.

"Haha, I'm fine. You can continue drinking now." After saying that, Xie Zhiyao immediately changed the subject: "Xu Hongdou, are you going to have your phone repaired today?"

Because the phone was broken by his younger brother Xie Zhiyuan, he, as the older brother, is naturally responsible. Is this also a way to change the subject?

"Today? Forget it, I plan to be quiet for a few days before talking about it."

Xie Zhiyao suddenly said something at this time: "Xu Hongdou, are you coming to our Yunmiao Village to hide from loan sharks?"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned. They never thought that Xie Zhiyao would say such a sentence.

Xu Hongdou frowned and said, "Xie Zhiyao, do you speak well?"

"Really? Everyone in the village says so. Haha."

Xie Zhiyao did not hear that Xu Hongdou was a little angry, but instead started boasting. Only Nana knew that Xie Zhiyao always talked like this. Yao Bin naturally knew Xie Zhiyao's character after watching the drama.

Xu Hongdou smiled and shook her head, then lowered her head to eat rice noodles. She had already given Xie Zhiyao a bad label.

The reason why they get together in the play is because after understanding later, now that Yao Bin has come over, there is no need to trouble Xie Zhiyao with these matters. Besides, he doesn't like Xu Hongdou now.

After finishing the meal, Xie Zhiyao went to pay first. The prices here are really cheap. A portion of rice noodles with meat only costs five yuan, which is only twenty yuan for four people. This is in this place in the Magic City. I'm afraid it costs twenty yuan per person.

"Yao Bin, are you interested in going to my place to provide guidance?"

Yao Bin waved his hand: "Guide the work? Let's forget it. I came here to rest. If I talk about work again, my head will hurt. I heard Lao Ma said that you made it so impressive..."

"Well, come and play when you have time."

"OK."

Because Nana had to go to the tavern to work, Xu Hongdou and Yao Bin had nothing to do, so they went to the tavern to sit there.

On the way, Nana was still curious about why Ma Ye and Xie Zhiyao seemed to know the new tenant Yao Bin, so she asked gossiping: "Yao Bin, what do you do in Magic City? Why do you feel like Mr. Xie and Mr. Ma both know you?"

The same goes for Xu Hongdou. She heard yesterday that the other party seemed to know her sister, but she didn't see carefully whether it was the same person.

"I just opened a company in Shanghai."

"Oh, then you should be the boss."

"Boss, that's right."

While the three of them were talking, they arrived at the small restaurant. Yao Bin came here for the second time. After finding a seat and sitting down, Nana told Xu Hongdou that the first time was free.

"Nana, give me a drink of whatever you want, as long as it's not made of roses."

After talking, Yao Bin wanted to go to the wood carving museum next door. Some of the things in there were quite interesting.

Nana smiled and said, "What? The roses are so delicious. Xu Hongdou listened to my order and met you. It's delicious."

"Okay, Nana, I listen to you."

After waiting for the food to arrive, Yao Bin drank some and prepared to go next door to take a look. As for Xu Hongdou, Yao Bin knew that she was a slow-warming person. This still needed time to settle, and there was no point in being anxious.

Seeing Yao Bin going next door, Xu Hongdou was reading quietly. After a while, Nana, who had finished her work, saw that the person was gone and walked over and asked, "Xu Hongdou, is he gone?"

"No, I think I went next door."

"Oh, that's Master Xie's carpentry workshop."

“What is a carpentry workshop?”

"It's just some wood carvings. If you're interested, you can go and have a look. They're very good."

"oh oh."

Xu Hongdou finally went over. When he entered the house, he saw Yao Bin placing an order, as if he wanted to buy these large wood carvings.

Yao Bin had just come in and walked around. When Xie Xiaoxia saw someone coming in, she put down her work and came up to say hello.

"Whatever you want to see, feel free to see it?" Yao Bin pointed at several large wood carvings in front of him and asked, "Young man, are all these things for sale?"

"Yes, all for sale."

Xie Xiaoxia knew that those paintings were the masterpieces of Master Xie Heshun and had been in the store for many years. Although many people asked about them, almost no one placed an order because they were too expensive.

Yao Bin saw the somewhat reserved Xie Xiaoxia and said jokingly: "I live in Youfeng Xiaoyuan, can I get a discount on shopping?"

"This. I have to ask Master about this."

He had never been born in society at all. Faced with Yao Bin's sudden question, he didn't know how to answer it.

"Just kidding, let me take a look first."

Originally I just wanted to tease Xie Xiaoxia, who is like a boring gourd in the play.

After looking at it for a few minutes, I found three wood carvings hanging in my villa in Shanghai. It felt very good. Two of the carvings were figures and one was the landscape of Dali.

Regardless of the structure or carving, Xie Heshun's craftsmanship is superb. No wonder he was named the inheritor of material culture in the state.

Yao Bin then asked Xie Xiaoxia: "Young man, how much do these paintings cost in total?"

At this time, Xu Hongdou walked in and saw that Yao Bin really wanted to buy it: "You want to buy these paintings? Do you want to take them back to the yard?"

She mainly felt that there seemed to be no room for these paintings in the courtyard.

Yao Bin shook his head: "There is no need to take it back to the yard, just send it directly back to the Magic City when the time comes."

Seeing Yao Bin's look, Xie Xiaoxia really wanted to buy it, and asked seriously: "Hello, do you really want to buy it?"

"Of course it's true. Don't you want to sell it?"

"No, I'll call Master right away."

"Row."

Then the two of them waited. Xu Hongdou then looked at the pictures Yao Bin selected. Although she didn't know the price, she thought it wouldn't be cheap. Xie Heshun's words later proved this.

She has worked in hotels for so many years, and she still knows a little about these decorations, especially those who have gathered a lot of hard work from craftsmen.

Within two minutes, Xie Heshun hurried over and said hello to Yao Bin. If these three wood carvings could really be sold, his income would be much better.

"Hello, do you want to buy these three wood carvings?"

"Yes, you are his master?"

"Yes, let me introduce myself. My name is Xie Heshun. These are the paintings of my apprentice Xie Xiaoxia, which were my most proud works back then. They have been kept here."

Speaking of this thing, Xie Heshun was still very emotional. If it were anyone else, he would have thought that he would raise the price. However, Yao Bin knew that Xie Heshun was a simple craftsman and did not have so many twists and turns.

Yao Bin also touched the wood carving and said, "It can be seen that Master Xie really put a lot of effort into carving. He is a rare craftsman."

"Yes. Young man, if you pay 70,000 yuan for the three paintings in total, you can take them away."

The price is not high, and every painting in it cannot be produced within half a year. Yao Bin nodded and said: "With this price, you won't suffer a loss, right?"

That is why Yao Bin would ask this question because he is not short of money.

"To be honest, I definitely wouldn't be willing to pay this price, but seeing that you really like it, you can also understand the hard work I put in at that time."

The main thing is that Yao Bin's words about craftsmen touched Xie Heshun's heart, otherwise it wouldn't be so cheap.

Yao Bin thought for a while and then said: "Thank you, Master. I will pay you 100,000 yuan. Then please arrange the freight and send it to the Magic City for me."

This basically took Xie Heshun a year and a half to come up with. How much did the labor cost alone?

Xie Heshun didn't know how to answer at all, and Xie Xiaoxia felt like she'd seen a ghost. She'd only heard of bargaining, but she'd seen prices being raised all the time.

Yao Bin saw some hesitation on their expressions, so he called Xie Zhiyao directly without hiding it. The other party said he would come immediately after receiving the call. After all, he would take care of anything in Yunmiao Village.

In less than five minutes, Xie Zhiyao picked up the electric car and rushed to the door of the wood carving workshop.

After several people greeted each other, Xie Zhiyao said: "Uncle, let me handle this matter, okay?"

Xie Heshun nodded immediately: "Okay."

Their relationship is unusual to begin with, so it's natural for them to help handle this matter.

That is to say, Xie Heshun was honest and didn't know what to do when he met a customer who helped raise the price.

"Xiaoxia, go get something to drink."

"Okay, Brother Ayao."

Then he introduced the relationship between Xie Xiaochun and Xie Xiaoxia to the two of them. Only then did Xu Hongdou know that they were biological siblings, and Yao Bin knew this well.

"Do you really want to raise the price?"

"I mainly see how much effort Master Xie has put into it, especially because there is a craftsman spirit in it. Seventy thousand yuan is a bit low."

This time Xie Zhiyao understood: "Hey, you are the only one who has a heart. If it were someone else, you would be willing to haggle over the price."

Xie Heshun heard about the spirit of craftsman again, and he was extremely satisfied. This handmade thing is different from mechanical batch products, but it requires someone to appreciate it.

"Actually, this wood carving workshop is very difficult. The uncle is struggling to support it alone, and the apprentice is almost gone. Now" Xie Zhiyao quickly changed his words at this point, because it would be a bit hurtful to say that Xie Xiaoxia also wanted to leave. .

"Wood carving is really difficult."

Yao Bin could tell that Xie Zhiyao might have wanted him to help with some advice. No wonder he would come here in person.

"Industrialization has indeed had a huge impact on some traditional industries. There is nothing we can do about it. How about I send these to my friends and see if anyone likes them?"

Xie Zhiyao immediately looked successful: "I'm just waiting for your words! But the price of your three wood carvings, according to the price that the uncle just said, we people in Yunmiao Village are all talking and doing things. Nail one nail at a time, and pay attention to integrity. What do you think, uncle?"

Of course Xie Heshun had no objection: "Ayao, I just listen to you."

Yao Bin shrugged: "Yeah, I don't have enough money to spend it."

Everyone laughed happily when they heard this.

After paying the money, Xie Heshun helped contact the logistics. It is definitely not possible to send this thing by express delivery. It must be packaged well and sent by the logistics.

Xie Xiaoxia glanced at the delivery address and knew it was a high-end villa area in Shanghai. He often likes short videos and novels online, so he naturally knows something about this.

Yao Bin took a few photos and sent them to other people who like handmade things.

"I've already sent it to a few friends who like crafts. If anyone wants it, let me know."

"Okay, thank you."

Xie Zhiyao and Xie Heshun both expressed their gratitude. Although the price of 70,000 yuan was a bit low, it was finally sold. If it cannot be sold, then a pair of wood is not worth much.

"Hey, traditional handicraft industry is like this. Does Mr. Yao have any good ideas?"

"The most important thing is to publicize and let more people know about these things. As far as I know, there are still people who like these handmade things. After all, they are passed down from the older generation."

Xie Heshun agreed: "That's right, let's see what those machine carvings are like."

Xie Zhiyao waved his hand: "Uncle, you can't say that. Machines have their own benefits. You still have to keep up before you wake up."

"I'll take a look."

Xie Heshun has such a stubborn temper, and Xie Zhiyao has no choice at all.
